DETERGENT DISPENSER

The detergent dispenser is divided into 4 compartments:

• Compartment I, is for prewash powder detergent. The recommended quantity is 60 gm of detergent (for 4,5 kg of laundry).

• Compartment II, is for wash powder detergent. The recommended quantity is 120 gm of detergent (for 4,5 kg of laundry).

• The compartment is for bleach. The recommended quantity is 7 cl.

• The compartment is for fabric conditioners, scenting agents and special additives. The recommended quantity is 5 cl.

The detergent compartment has two guidance lines:

• RECOMMENDED (lower line). This indicates the recommended level for the prewash and wash compartments.

• MAX. This indicates the maximum level which should never be exceeded.

ACTIVE SYSTEM

The Active system owes its efficiency to its capacity to take advantage of all the force of the water. During the washing phases the water in the drum is pumped towards an injector located in the drum which injects a powerful water jet onto the wash. This action with an increase of rotation speed up to 100 revolutions guarantees an optimum quality of wash and more thorough rinsing.

This washing machine automatically adapts the water level to the type and quantity of clothes to be washed. So it is possible to obtain a «customised» wash, even in terms of energy. This system reduces water and energy consumption and provides an appreciable reduction in wash time

PROGRAMME SELECTION

Select as follows:

• Check the programme table and set the desired programme using selector

(A)

• Select the options as permitted: the options available via the keys depend on which programme is selected. If a key flashes when pressed, the options it offers are not available. If it remains lit, they are. Options can be seen on the display (V).

• Press the Start/ Pause button. The door lock lamp will light up and the display will show three dashes (- - -) and then the average duration of the programme selected. After 10-15 minutes, during which time the water temperature, amount of washing, etc. are determined, the display will show the time remaining to the end of the wash cycle.

• Because the machine is electronic, the programme may take up to one minute to commence. Its fuzzy logic programming technology gives this machine smart monitoring capabilities, enabling it to adapt water levels, washing rates and spin speeds with no further intervention by the user.

NOTE: A special memory unit stores the programme choice in case of power failure, so that the machine will resume washing at the point where it left off when power is restored.

END OF CYCLE: At the end of the cycle the lights go out and the display reads (0 0 0). After 2 minutes, the display begins to flash. This means that the washing can be removed. Press Start/ Pause and set the control to OFF.
